[MKW TAS] Superhopping Strat Compilation

Watch in 4K60!
I had a lot of fun making this! Hopping over and over on a bunch of tracks wasn't something I was expecting to do, but I had a TON of fun TASing each track nonetheless. I have hope for a lot of tracks to be honest, and the rest that aren't faster make for cool TAFs :p.
This is also probably the most I've spent working on a video. This took me around a few weeks of on and off TASing and recording, through AP tests and currently finals. That's why my second channel hasn't really been uploading -- I've been focusing on making this video. I'll return to uploading on my second channel (dw haha) and you can expect some other cool uploads on this channel coming soon :).

I love how the shooting star is just ranking up in terms of the quickest vehicle, insane to think an outside drift bike can be faster than an inside drift, especially with the RTA meta throughout the time this game has been out.

[@campbellblock3061]

Higher handling bikes are also being considered because that will allow you to turn tighter while hopping, and of course speed isn't as useful when you're going 120 throughout much of the track already.

[@ancientmkw]

yeah its quite insane to believe haha

We got stuck at inside drift bikes being the fastest vehicle type for 14 years. Outside drifting bikes have been there waiting for their revenge. That moment has come.

I’m really curious to see how this will affect future TASes. Sick video. Also, best of luck on your finals!

thank you! :))

this stuff is wild, excited to see what else will be found

same tbh, some of the shortcuts are the stuff that I used to dream about years ago LOL

[@Cooltrix]

I am really intrigued to see where this takes the TAS meta! Awesome vid :)

[@aramkimodo]

Me: Oh I haven't been in mkwii for a while, let's see what's going on there *hears limbo music* *Gets war flashbacks*

[@lowercaseletters_]

These superhopping strats are insane. Great work. Also, it’d be so cool to combine Mega Mushroom and superhopping together.

[@Kierio04]

This is possible and it invalidates most mega SG spots like what happened with most normal SG spots

[@lowercaseletters_]

@@Kierio04 that’s insane. I’d like to see TASers smash the TAS BKTs in a race with Mega superhopping.

[@MikeyLORR]

So awesome to see this, even if most of it isn't faster, it's really cool to see you having fun with the new tech. I commend you for working so hard on this during your finals, must be really hard to juggle all of it at once. Best of luck on all of those! Also great choice of music, it's perfectly in rhythm with the superhopping LOL

[@ancientmkw]

thank you!! yeah a lot of this was for fun, to try and sync with the music

Superhopping is just nuts

[@skeepodoop5197]

Mario Kart wii veterans; "The shooting star will never be better than the Flame Runner." Superhopping; "Oh... I don't think so."

[@invalid2410]

Once this thing gets hella revised by the TAS community we will see times thought to be absolutely impossible by TAS standards without thinking there's some kind of new ultra shortcut

[@cabbage72]

so cool!!!

i feel like im gonna see this in a summonigsalt video

jesus i wonder what would happen to luigi circuit

[@horstkretschmer]

Would it be possible to make a camera mod to be able to see where you're going (like it points in the direction you're moving or something) for future TASes done using superhopping?

[@ancientmkw]

that's a great idea!

[@Portentous__]

I just had a thought… does superhopping obsolete supergrinding on outside drift bikes? Or are there scenarios where supergrinding on an outside drift bike is still faster than superhopping?

[@ancientmkw]

supergrinding is def optimal in some scenarios

[@WiiNunchuck]

This certainly reminds me of MK8U🤣

[@ancientmkw]

LOL for sure, giving demon slide vibes

[@Nidhryl]

Wow! So what tracks/categories is this already confirmed to be faster on?

[@ancientmkw]

MC, GV, rPB, rBC, SGB, rDS, MG, more that I'm prob forgetting lmao

[@klopsjoker3928]

It might sound dumb But is some of it actually rta viable? Like at 2:14 it could be made humanly no? Idk if this recquires frame perfection imputs I have actually no clue about this stuff

[@Portentous__]

From what I’ve heard so far, it’s TAS only for now, as the inputs are extremely precise. Idk if they’re frame perfect, but they’re close

[@campbellblock3061]

It isn't entirely frame perfect, but you pretty much need to be to effectively build and sustain speed, so there's not much opportunity for rta to use this.

[@danielchillis7878]

Can you try doing TASes superhopping strats in wario’s gold mine glitch or moo moo meadows or Mario circuit glitch?

[@pumpkinzz5728]

Idk much about the technical side of this strat, but is it possible with carts? I feel like some nutty stuff could happen with the orange boost

nope sadly hops work differently in the physics engine

[@Gl1tchyGuy]

this possible rta?

[@isocle]

Is there any reasonable world in which someone uses the rolling technique from NES tetris to perform superhopping, let alone while doing the rest of the inputs for any of the full tricks/driving?

[@olivercarlsen7706]

Can somebody tell me how to do the superhop with tas?

[@danielchillis7878]

Superhopping is very hard to do. You need to press b a lot and move the controler stick, I think but I’m not sure.

[@boofpeanuts6960]

can this be done rta?

[@zizi-ue7lh]

so is this actually possible to do humanly ?

Imagine this being rta o.o Now I wanna try this in real time to see if I can do it! Although that might take practice and trying to get the movements right, im still up for it!
